Mixed feelings about bullet penetration?

[timur]

Sounds like penetration will be like it is in real life

Get behind the tough stuff

I would like to have multiple human penetration .

sounds like both of you may be talking about the same thing

What next, will people start taking notes on the Trader and say "I like the big ones, don't you?" xD.

Sorry, just had to do that

Anyways, back on topic, I think that having bullet shrapnel might put a lot of pressure on larger servers and the engine, with such small fragments constantly occurring.

Sorry I was thinking of the female sniper thread when I posted it. lol

That's what I've been worried about. That's why I mentioned having a lot of rubble piles. lol A mix of dirt, brick and steel for cover. As bolt players it would appear we will have one big target painted on us. lol

Think that when he runs out of ammo after three seconds and he dies; he won't be spraying away that much through cover anymore in his next respawn.

I think the ammo limitation and the 'it also works for bolts' argument evens it out pretty good. Maybe actually in favor of the bolt when facing a MG.

Suppression with the MGs, combines with penetration - but balance that with eating up ammo very fast. But you certainly can't treat a well-placed and well-handled MG with disregard. Spread out and get fire back on him!

There is a reason why MGs were feared on the battlefield

With bullet penetration, it's a lot harder for everyone to have adequate cover, including the MG that has you pinned down, it'll even out. I think you'll find that players will learn to fire their weapons only when they have a good chance for a hit, because once you give your position away, you're more vulnerable.

Yes plus +1 for you.

I was a little worried when I watched the alpha build grain elevator gameplay, when the demonstrator killed a bot by firing through a rather thick concrete wall with an SMG, but hopefully that was because it was an early build.

 

[gyps]

lots of games have had some kind of penetration for a long time

It's just getting used to what is and isn't possible to do

any wall they can fire through, so can you back

so it's not as one sided as it sounds

One important part of Basic Training in the military is the difference between cover and concealment. This has already been discussed by the videos on page 4. I am glad TWI is implementing this to the game.
